Matt Cassel |
|
Cassel was selected by the Patriots in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft with the 230th overall pick. After an impressive training camp, Cassel earned a spot on the Patriots squad as a backup. |
| |
After the retirement of Doug Flutie in the 2006 off-season, Cassel was promoted to primary backup duties for starting quarterback, Tom Brady.
Cassel spent all of his time at USC as a backup behind Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. Cassel was the backup for Palmer during his Heisman-winning 2002 season. In the fall, Cassel lost the battle for the starting position to the previous third-string quarterback in Leinart. He is the only football player in history to have backed up two Heisman winning quarterbacks. |
